History
History helps children to consider how the past influences the present, what past societies were like and what beliefs and cultures influenced people’s actions. In key stage 1 pupils learn how the past is different from the present by finding out about people’s lives and lifestyles. They find out about significant men, women and events from the recent and more distant past, such as Florence Nightingale and Remembrance Day and are given the opportunity to find out about washdays in the past by visiting a local museum.
During key stage 2 children use different sources of information to help investigate the past and learn how to describe events, people and developments using dates and historical vocabulary. They study change in both their own area, in Britain and other parts of the world and find out about the Tudors and Victorian Britain. We hope the ability to research, find evidence and argue for their point of view will be skills they find useful in adult life.
